Kitman Labs raises more funds as it moves into coronavirus monitoring
Summary
The Dublin-headquartered company was established with the goal of reducing the risk of injury in professional sports by using artificial intelligence and data science to improve athletes’ health, welfare and performance. Kitman Labs is now rolling out a number of additional features dealing with areas such as talent development, player-value assessment, and advanced Covid-symptom monitoring and testing. And it has continued to grow legs, with us recently signing a deal with one of the major sporting leagues in the US to help them return to playing,” he told The Irish Times. Mr Alici previously spent over a decade leading Morgan Stanley’s Global Discovery portfolio, a fund that, according to Bloomberg, outperformed about 97 per cent of its peers in the three years prior to his departure . Kitman’s other backers include Blue Run Ventures and Japanese consumer electronics giant Sony, along with former Paddy Power senior executives Patrick Kennedy, Stewart Kenny and Andrew Algeo, who now heads up the National Lottery.
